Is it Acceptable to Repeat a Blatant Lie in a Political Speech?

[struth]

Nothing. I guess we just agree to disagree?

Or you are just a idiot?

 

[Invisibleflash]

Excerpt from Biden's disgraceful speech at the DNC:

"When the president was asked what he thought had happened. Donald Trump said, and I quote, “There were very fine people on both sides.” My god. That’s what he said. That is what he said and what he meant."

The Left has REPEATEDLY characterized this statement, which referred to people who wanted to retain, and wanted to remove, statues of Confederate war heroes, as President Trump calling neo-Nazi's and White Supremacists, "very fine people." As the text of Trump's comments make clear, this is a Leftist lie. Not a difference of opinion, a lie. Even Snopes has weighed in (as others have brought up in this forum), to say, in effect, "Cut the shit. This is a lie."

My view is that politicians do NOT have the right to LIE. They can omit facts, slant a viewpoint, render an unpopular opinion, or tell their side of the story, but lying is unacceptable under all circumstances.

So this Biden fellow, who wants nothing more than to be remembered as a "fine statesman" in a couple weeks when he gives up the ghost, has chosen to pepper his final major public speech with lies.

Is lying acceptable?

The rally was planned, executed and attended by white supremacists, dupe.

Again, as always, I have to ask, are Leftists stupid or evil? There is no other option.

What percentage of Confederate soldiers were fighting to defend slavery? How many of them owned slaves? What percentage of Union soldiers were fighting to end slavery? You are looking at single-digit percentages in both cases.

It is infantile to presume that Confederate war heroes were solely focused on defending slavery or "White supremacy." Just like it is infantile to call Christopher Columbus a genocidal figure. Infantile and stupid.

The demonstration on the day in question was in opposition to removing statues of Confederate war heroes, and others came along to support removing them. It was a matter about which reasonable people can disagree - which of course leaves out Leftists like the ones who post here. There were highly-motivated "fine" people on both sides of the argument.

Biden is a liar. He and his family are corrupt. He was never anything more than a third-rate, unemployable political hack from a tiny state that kept re-electing him because they couldn't find someone competent to take his place. But ironically, he found someone even less competent to be his VP, and he conned his party into making her the nominee this year.

You couldn't make it up.

What percentage of Confederate soldiers were fighting to defend slavery?

Every single one of them, dupe.
Whether they knew it or not. They were dupes then just like you are now.

So you are saying the 140 Trump staffers that worked on Project 2025 and the fact JD Vance wrote the forward to the document, was just a coincidence?

Oh, and Trump speaking at the Heritage Foundation's 2022 event,

"Heritage does such an incredible job. They're going to lay the groundwork in detail plans for exactly what our movement will do and what your movement will do when the American people give us a collasal mandate to save America. "

-Donald Trump as Keynote Speaker in Heritage Foundation event in Florida, April 2022.

But he doesn't know anything about them, nor does he support them?

Laughing......bullshit.
